<span>The avian heart has evolved into a large and powerful organ with rapid muscular contractions. Generally the smaller the species the larger the relative heart size. Generally birds have hearts larger and ones that beat faster than mammals. The human heart weight amounts to .42 percent of body weight and the pulse rate at rest averages 72 beats per minute. The House Sparrow's heart constitutes 1.68 percent of the body weight and the pulse rate at rest averages 460 beats per minute. In the Ruby-throated Hummingbird these figures rise to 2.37 percent and a pulse rate of 615.</span>

Which of the following is the correct order of electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

b) H2O → P680 chlorophyll a pair → PS II primary electron acceptor → Pq → cytochrome complex → Pc → P700 chlorophyll a pair → PS I primary electron acceptor → Fd → NADPH

Explanation:

The energy present in the photons is used to produce high energy electrons during the light chain of reactions. The H2O molecules generate P680 which is an excited chlorophyll molecule. Then the molecules are converted into pheophytin. The pheophytin produce special quinones which are QA and QB. This generates a plastoquinone pool.
